Problems solved by technology

These hip orthoses have the disadvantage of not providing dynamic abduction on the leg throughout the range of motion
Since traditional orthotics rigidly hold the leg in abduction, this can lead to abnormal gait and compliance problems

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Figures 1A-1C An embodiment of a hip orthosis is shown that includes some of the basic functions of the hip orthosis taught in part in US Patent 7,597,672. According to the present embodiment, the hip orthosis 100 includes a hip plate 102 adapted to be secured to a user's hip and held in position by a pelvic girdle assembly 112 . The orthosis includes a calf sleeve 104 adapted to be secured over the user's thigh and held in position by a thigh strap 114 .

[0029] Elastic rods 106 connect the hip plate 102 and the calf sleeve 104 to each other. A lower elastic rod support 108 and an upper elastic rod support 120 engage the elastic rod 106 . Thigh pads or thigh shells 110 are slidably engaged with elastic rods 106 .

[0030] The elastic rod 106 is pivotally connected to the calf cover 104 . As with the hip plate 102, the elastic rod 106 has an end portion that is inserted into the hip plate 102 and slides side to side relative to the hip plate 102 by movement limite...

Abstract

An orthopedic device includes an elongate and rigid or semirigid strut assembly, an arcuate cuff pivotally secured to the strut assembly, and a strap securing to the cuff and forming an adjustable circumferential configuration therewith. A tensioning device may be mounted on the cuff and coupled to the strap in order to incrementally adjust the tensioning device among a plurality of preselected levels such that a first end of the strap secures to the tensioning device and a second end of the strap couples to the cuff. A soft-good assembly connects to the strut assembly and has a flexible stay embedded within with a plurality of layers. The soft-good assembly is adapted to form an adjustable circumferential loop with the stay only located within a segment short of the circumference of the loop.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to orthopedic devices, particularly hip orthoses for the treatment of the hip and their use, and to methods for manufacturing the orthopedic devices. Background technique [0002] Hip braces can be used to stop hip dislocations and provide early movement after hip surgery while minimizing post-operative complications. Specific surgical procedures include hip replacement or full or partial revision surgery, and hiposcopy. These orthotics can be used to reduce the length of hospitalization and recovery, as well as the overall period of rehabilitation. Hip orthoses are also used to manage persistent pain in the hip and inoperable hip disabilities. [0003] Prophylaxis, or hip dislocation, is a problem that occurs when the head of the femur becomes displaced in the acetabulum, or socket. Typically, after hip surgery, hip braces are needed for immobilization and support to aid in recovery by preventing the rec...
